Akame ga Kill! Episode #24 Anime Review (Series Finale) | Fandom Post

What They Say:
Under the rule of a tyrannical empire, Tatsumi, a young swordsman, leaves his home to save his poverty stricken village. He meets a girl named Akame, an assassin who was bought, brainwashed and trained to kill by the Empire. Akame is a member of the secret assassin group called “Night Raid” who use special weapons called Teigu. Together, Tatsumi and the members of Night Raid confront the corrupt empire.

I've heard that from others, but I haven't read the manga yet. I got the sense of the rush, but the show still stood out for me in various respects. The characters were very well crafted; the moral ambiguity was expressed well (empathy for Esdeath, for instance, despite everything); the plot was fairly typical, but the focus on Night Raid's actions took the show above that limitation; the use of death created a real sense of conflict and raised really valuable moral questions.

Overall, I liked it more than quite a few others from this season (though I've still got a huge backlog to work through).
